In essence, foreign ships delivering commercial goods to and from UK ports, including the colonies, were forbidden under the Acts of Trade and Navigation. They guaranteed jobs for crew members from the UK and its colonies, granted the merchant fleet a monopoly that allowed it to expand, encouraged shipbuilding and development throughout the Empire, and laid the groundwork for the rapid growth of the Royal Navy. The legislation also boosted manufacturing and industry, resulting in the creation of more stable jobs both at home and in the colonies. Overall, the Acts were created to safeguard Empire commerce and employees and to stop the importation of low-cost commodities produced by uncontrolled foreign companies and conveyed by unregulated ships. The only losers were our competitors, many of whom continued to use slave labor in order to lower manufacturing costs and boost profitability while also excluding them from many of the completed items and raw materials that they were required to purchase and have transported by Empire ships. Because their commercial vessels could fly the Red Ensign, giving them access to commercial possibilities and the protection of the Royal Navy, the New England colonies were pleased to comply with the Navigation Acts, so long as they were not too rigidly enforced. The gentlemen of commerce and professions in the colonies started considering revolt when Grenville decided to severely enforce the Navigation Acts in 1763 in order to create income.

How did space exploration affect the cold war during the 70s?
Drupady [299]
The U.S. and the Soviet Union were in a space race to develop technology to land on the moon 1st. By the time, that John Kennedy declared his plans, in the early 1960’s, to put a man on the moon by the end of the decade; the US was far behind the USSR in space technology. But from a historical perspective, John Kennedy was completely uninterested in space. His reasoning was that the US “had” to strike the USSR to the moon. As the people of the US became responsive that the USSR was out pacing them in technology, which they’d quite well believed that the US was greater in up until that point, sustain for a fully funded space program began to grow quickly. This permitted the support required for the Kennedy and Johnson administrations to virtually give NASA a clean check to fund the space program. Thus making U.S. landed Louis Armstrong on the moon 1st a day earlier.
